The History and Meaning Behind Earth Day<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Earth day was first created back in 1970 for the purpose of\ncelebrating our planet\u2019s environment and Eco-systems, as well as, to support\noverall environmental protection, preservation, and consciousness. It is an\nannual event that falls on the same April 22nd<\/sup> of every year, and\nensues with a wide range of happenings, celebrations, fundraisers, awareness\nprograms, and more all across the globe. Today, more than 193 countries participate\nin Earth day celebrations, all of which are harmonized worldwide by the Earth\nDay Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tree Planting Tips<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Although you can show your support of Earth day by\nrecycling, picking up litter, carpooling, using less water, making donations to\nenvironmental preservation initiatives, volunteering, and much more, a\nlong-term achievement you can be proud of is planting a tree! Below are some\nhelpful tips for tree planting that you can use and pass onto others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🧭 Choose the Right Location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A tree needs the proper amounts of sunlight and water, as\nwell as suitable soil conditions and space to grow. Be sure all of these needs\nare met in the area you plan to plant your tree. Refer to nursery instructions\nfor help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🗺 Adhere to the U.S. Hardiness Zone Map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You wouldn\u2019t have much success planting a cactus or palm tree in your front yard. Be sure to check the U.S. Hardiness Zone map for the proper species to plant in Indiana. Read our blog, \u201cWhat is the USDA Hardiness Zone for Indiana?<\/a>\u201d to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🕳 Dig a Good Hole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When digging a hole for your new tree, be sure it is at\nleast five times larger than the tree\u2019s root ball. This will ensure there is\nplenty of space for the roots to breathe and grow. One of the most common\nreasons why newly-planted trees fail is due to planting them too deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2619 Use Proper Mulching Practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you have placed your tree into the hole, refill it\nusing the original soil. Then, apply 2 to 4 inches of a quality mulch around\nthe base of the tree to retain moisture and add valuable organic matter to the\nsoil. Keep it at least 6 inches away from the trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
